How Retailers Can Protect Themselves From Cyber Attacks

Not a day goes by that we don't see an attack on an organization's infrastructure in one way or another. Over the last few months, there have been several high-profile attacks on retailers such as Home Depot and Target. These attacks have been carried out using a variety of different methods, with POS malware being involved in many cases. Millions of credit card numbers have been compromised and made available to criminals, with significant costs for credit card issuers due to fraudulent transactions and lost customer trust in the retail brands involved.
